Navy RFI is looking for firms with experience supporting large ERP systems

The Navy is looking for a company to provide systems engineering and logistics support for its ERP Technical Support Services program.

The request for information released Oct. 26 describes the requirement as engineering and integrated logistics support across the full life cycle of Navy ERP. That covers planning, development, integration, testing, deployment, sustainment and modernization for a system with more than 70,000 users.

The Navy expects the work to need at least 15 full-time equivalents. Sample tasks include:

•            SETR and technical review support

•            Requirements traceability and tracking requests for change

•            Architecture products and model-based systems engineering

•            Agile and DevSecOps implementation

•            Managing interface control agreements and documents for the system’s external connections

The Navy will evaluate responses only from companies that would bid as prime. It will not consider subcontractors. Respondents must:

• Show they can recruit, onboard and deploy at least 15 systems engineering FTEs within 30 days and complete a full transition in that same window.
• Provide three past performance examples as a prime on Defense Department systems engineering work.
• Show that each example supported a system with more than 20,000 users, was staffed by at least 15 FTEs (mostly systems, software or requirements engineers or enterprise architects), and ran for at least three years.
• Have an accounting system that has been found adequate. The RFI calls this a requirement and asks for the company’s cognizant DCAA and DCMA offices and a point of contact familiar with the company.

The Navy said it may use support contractors ASRC and Dynamic Management Associates to review responses. Both firms are barred from competing for the work.

Comments are due in less than a week – Nov. 2.
